Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event
with 1-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
• From within HP SIM ("HP Systems Insight Manager" on page 73)
• From within Survey Utility
• From within operating system-specific IML viewers
o For NetWare: IML Viewer (does not apply to HP ProLiant DL980 Servers)
o For Windows®: IML Viewer
o For Linux: IML Viewer Application
• From within the iLO 2 user interface
• From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 76)
For more information, see the Management CD or DVD in the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant.
HP ILO 2 technology
The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its operating
system. The iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and
provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 2, you can:
• Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
• Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server.
• Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 2 interface.
• Diagnose iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO 2 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced for
BladeSystem license), see the iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).
Option ROM Configuration for Arrays
NOTE: ORCA is supported with the use of an optional HP Array Controller.
Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign
RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.
The utility provides support for the following functions:
• Configuring one or more logical drives using physical drives on one or more SCSI buses
• Viewing the current logical drive configuration
